RickVoid posted:So here's something I didn't see in the OP. Gearhead 1 is cool, once you have a high enough skill in building mechs you can pretty much put any part you want into anywhere on the chasis. For example, you could weld a pair of giant arms onto a fighter jet, iirc. There's a similar mechanic for building human-sized robot companions. 2 was supposed to add some space elements, but it didn't go very far with it. 1 is still better imo, 2 I think doesn't even have any questline or much to do at all.

Kanos posted:World of Horror's mechanics are extremely thin and basic and there's very little reason to replay it once you've seen all the cases because there's only a couple solutions to each one. It's not really the kind of game you play because the gameplay is good, you play it for the stories and the aesthetic. You unlock some new stuff by getting different endings and fulfilling some challenging conditions, so there's some replayability. I heard it described as the boardgame Arkham Horror with Junji Ito skin and it kinda fits very well. It's a good game, even in current state. The esthetic alone is dope as hell and worth the money.

Chaotic Flame posted:Children of Morta is on sale on Switch. What's the goon opinion? Did not like it at all, I got it on a big sale and still refunded. Ultimately it's just very repetitive and boring - you'll be clicking on endless waves of trash mobs until you get to the one fight that might actually be interesting. Like someone said, progression is glacial, but the characters movement itself also feels sluggish. Aesthetics and storytelling are very cool, but that's all it has going for it imo. Get Hades instead, or play more Hades if you already have it.

Something weird happened in Demoncrawl when I got the Ectoplasm item. I died, turned into a ghost and got the death timer. But as I kept running into monsters, I would die again, and again, with the Ectoplasm activating, and the countdown would keep increasing. Dunno if that's the intended effect? And when I completed the map, on the next one the countdown was gone, so I was just an immortal ghost, kept clicking random cells and revealing monsters, but I wouldn't die. Finished the second to last quest this way.

Ciaphas posted:what helped me out most was learning that most of the time dodge rolling is unnecessary and just risks you whumping another bullet while locked in the 2nd half of the animation Yeah, I'm trying to unlearn stuff from games like Hades etc. and not be aggresive zooming all over the place. I feel like I'm slowly getting used to the regular enemies on floors 1-2, but bosses still gently caress me up, especially if they catch me in two overlapping patterns, I can't deal with that. And if I only got charge guns I'm good as dead, lol Dodge roll feels like a trap honestly, I'm more likely to eat a bullet immediately after than avoiding damage.

deep dish peat moss posted:How do I deal with Omens? I switched to Casual because I had a few promising runs end due to just bad lucking into getting 3 omens on the same stage or getting an omen that shut my build down. Just lost a promising run because I got an omen that made me lose a random item and gain a random omen every 40 turns. For omens, there's various item that can deal with them, if you keep an eye out you could potentially find something good in a shop. there's an item that lets you sell at shops, you could get rid of an omen this way as well.There's an NPC that will remove your omens for money, and there's also another one that can trade one of your items for another one - if you're lucky he will exchange an omen for something useful. Items and skills that spawn NPCs can also be useful here. When you mouseover on anything, you should get a scrolling tool bar at the bottom of the screen that should list all effects it has.

goferchan posted:You can't sell omens with that item but you can get an offer to sell or trade one in the Bazaar special stage if you're lucky. Yeah, that's what I was thinking about. There's also the carnivorous plant that you can feed an omen into. The plant takes your items at random, but if you have few/trash items and/or the omen is particularly bad, it might be worth the sacrifice.

It's a good little game, nice artstyle, but I didn't find myself wanting to play it past the initial hour or so.

I got Card Quest on this thread's recommendation and drat, it owns? I really like this system where you assemble your builds out of ready made blocks, instead of having to worry about getting individual cards. Also it has a ton of unlocks which is crack to my brain. 10 hrs in and I beat the forest with a snoiper guy. I'm hooked.

So I had Nova Drift on wishlist and today I see it's on sale so I tried it finally. drat, it looks simplistic on the screenshots but is actually incredibly cool and satisfying. And then I did my first run and unlocked several new mod trees and parts, which I thought what I got at the start is all there is. Ok cool, I see I'm gonna sink the next 100hrs into this baby.

Samopsa posted:nova drift loving owns, I put in like 60 hours and still having lots of fun trying out weird new combos Yeah, played a bit more and it really owns. One thing that is loving me up a little bit is that your ship can wrap around the screen, but most enemies and projectiles don't, so it's a bit disorienting. But overall it's really a great game, I'm amazed they managed to squeeze so much juice out of a simple asteroids concept. I also got Nightmare Reaper today, never heard of it before but looks like it just released 1.0 after a few years in developement, and it's pretty good as well. I don't know if it qualifies as roguelike exactly - it's a retro style shooter, but the levels are procedurally generated, there's metaprogression, weapons have levels and different modifiers and powers. There's a shitton of different weapons. But also when you die you just restart that level, you don't have to start over an entire run, and you don't loose any gold. So overall kind of a weird mashup of genres, but I dig it so far. The starting levels are a bit meh to be honest, some cramped sewer cave or something, but seems that later on the environments get more interesting.

It has a cool weird as hell aesthetic, shitton of unlocks, and I very much love this poo poo, but no +1-to-punching-style metaprogression. Also pretty hard, but so far fair. Seems like it just got a pretty big content update as well. Really digging it.

Splicer posted:I guess I'm looking for the complex robot building using the bodies of my enemies, but putting a gun on my guy also puts a gun on my avatar. Gearhead is kinda like a lighter version of Cogmind with graphics - it's less of a dungeon crawler and more open-world free wandering kinda game. Unfortunately your robot is not fully graphically represented, but you can do some crazy builds, like putting arms on a fighter jet, have two torsos, strap as many guns as you can fit, etc. You also get to play as the pilot, and you can trick yourself out with cyberware. Also Front Mission? if you can emulate. Less free in the building departament, but every part looks different on your robit.

I've been playing the roguelite strategy The Last Spell for the last few days and It's pretty good. I tried it initially when it released in EA and wasn't really impressed, but now they've turned it around into a solid game. There's a millions unlocks which I'm always game for, most of them are just opening up different options, but there's some that are also just straight upgrades. There's a ton of different weapons and gear that have entirely diferent skills and bonuses. It's also pretty hard, but I feel like with each run I come a little bit closer to vicory. Pretty cool, woud recommend. Also one thing I realised way too late is that you can have a second weapon set that you can switch during combat completely free, so your melee guy can have a ranged backup weapon and vice versa.

Walh Hara posted:Yeah, I also ended up getting it during the sales and honestly I'm completely in love. It's such a neat concept and gameplay loop. Managed to win in each of the 3 maps in a total of 5 attempts, now tackling acopalypse 1 in Lakeburg. Got any tips? I'm on run 10 on the first map (Gildenberg), I can survive up until the last night but then I get quickly overrun, since on the night before I usually lose a good chunk of my buildings and defences. My dudes are never in danger, but I just can't seem to keep up with my damage output. I also probably realized too late that consumables refill every night, so might be a good idea to outfit everyone with mana potions and some aoe scrolls.

My problem is that I'm running out of mana, I'm abusing that lightining strike like crazy with +propagation bonuses, by the end of night usually all my guys are tapped out. So when I get later in the run I have trouble refilling even when using the freebie upgrade from the mana shrine quote:- Bowyer/Blacksmith/Magic shop are not very good. It's better to just upgrade your shop to get better items. This one seems interesting, I started to notice this as well. It would be good if the item levels followed the shop level, but when you have to upgrade it separately on each building it's not really worth it as you say. I got roped into building those to get the tied upgrades, but I think it's a waste of gold that could go into town defences. I was also thinking that mabye building walls on later nights is a waste of resources. When the waves get really large, they only stop the zombies for 1 turn anyway, so I might try to replace them with barricades that are 2x cheaper. Ballista also seems trash, a single extra shot a turn for 100 stone is pathetic.

Finished Gildenburg in The Last Spell on run 12. It was tough but I tried to utilize both weapon sets this time + offhands to give myself the most options possible, gave my dudes some scrolls and mana potions, plopped down the simplest barricades to delay the waves and stopped wasting gold on the weapon building and just focused on he shop. I'm also seeing in the new dev notes that they're reworking production buildings to share upgrade levels and the shop to increase automatically which was probably my only gripe with the mechanics.

BurningBeard posted:As far as The Last Spell goes, did they fix the things that I heard complaints about from a year or so ago? It’s extremely my poo poo and now all I’m hearing are positive things. Speaking as someone who was unimpressed with the initial release, it's good. Metaprogression is imo fun now, there's two metaprogression "paths" - one tied to just killing large numbers of zombos, and the other to various achievements like deal x damage at once, reach x max health or mana or level etc. There's a lot different weapons and so far they all seem pretty viable in the right build or gear combo.

Dropbear posted:Any general tips for the Last Spell? I have not gotten any farther than you, but it does kinda seem like ballistas are a trap unless you can churn a shitton of them. Killing one mob per turn (or sometimes not even killing it) does not seem worth it. Over the entire night that's like what, 6-7 enemies dead? Which is equivalent to a single big attack. You can get a lot more value out of a single +1 ap accessory. So yeah, it seems like slowing enemies down is much more important. They will always stop at the nearest barricade, so even with the lovely cheap ones you can buy yourself an extra turn or two before the zombos overrun your city. Traps might also be more worthwhile, if you place them within your walls you have a chance of again buying yourself some time once the mobs start breaching.

I'd say like 75% of metaprogression is sideways stuff, unlocking different weapon and armor types. Or unlocking stronger weapon versions, but those still need to be bought during a run. There's a few that unlocks new buildings which might be considered 'upgrades'. The straight powerup stuff is things like your dudes starting with a helmet, or starting with +1 gear, having one more perk option, or starting with slightly more mana (about one spell cast more) or having 5% more chance at a rare item. The most powerful upgrade would probably be your dudes starting with 1 additional action point.

GrandpaPants posted:I've been checking out The Last Spell since getting it in the sale and it seems kinda overtuned in difficulty? I'm on attempt #5 of the first level, but the last night just hits like a truck and I can't overcome the hordes fast enough, especially since I didn't see a decent upgraded weapon for a while so it was hard maintaining a 1:1 kill:action ratio. The fact that I'm surrounded and my dudes can't support each other really sucks! The level ups also seem kinda iffy, where it's like, do 3% more propagation damage, which applies to like, one of my skills, or do 5% more minimum damage, or something. A lot of it is very underwhelming. The metaprogression bonuses are kinda minor, with the exception of the one that gives you +1 action point. Also, if you haven't realized it yet, you can have two diferent loadouts equipped and switching between them is completely free, so you want to have weapons that complement each other. Stack perks and equipment that gives you bonus propagation bounces. Weapons and shields in your secondary slot still give you their bonuses.

I checked out Erannoth Chronicles - on the surface it looks like my kind of poo poo, 3500 cards, hundreds of character combos, mechanics out the rear end, etc. Unfortunately, it doesn't feel very good to play. There's just zero feedback to anything - the battle screen is just static images, card you play resolve instantly with very little indication of what happened, same for enemy actions. Barely any indication of who was hit and what effects applied. There are effect icons next to the characters, but mousing over that only gives you the keywords and their value, with zero explanation of what it means. To get to the information you need, you usually need to go two screens deep into the glossary. Also, what kind of deranged decision it was to have Alt-click display the full card info? Another problem is that the cards are not distinct enough and it all kinda blends together into one big slurry. Oh, this one gives +1 Flowersniffing and -2 Ennui Resistance, but that other one has +2 Toenail Clipping but causes +1 Itchiness and I have no loving idea which one I need right now. I love the variety and scope and theorycraft potential, but it's not fun at all, I just don't have the mental energy anymore to deal with a lovely UI

Yeah, I was on board for cronchy oldschool grog mechanics. And it's not even that the core gameplay is anything complicated - if you played any deckbuilder ever, you'll figure this one out even without the tutorial. And it's also not like the dev doesn't know how to implement tooltips or a glossary or wiki, because those things are in the game. The problem is that the information is conveyed badly or is unnecesarily hiden away and it's a pain in the rear end to have a full picture of the game state at any given time
